What about off of the master cylinder mount? That's really close.

I was thinking this also. Was gong to call Mike Norris next week and see what he recommends for my setup. See if I can get away with one or if I should run two.

Probably mount one like zachm89 did and the other to the master cylinder or something close by.

For you FI guys, did you put a check valve in the hose going from the intake to the can? Keeping boost out of the catch can and away from the pcv valve?

I have a check valve in the stock line but I am also getting some oil in my intake and ordering up the Mike Norris can.

When I talked to Mike he recommended using a check valve. This was his response for me.
In most cases a single catch can on the PCV hose is enough, but on a boosted application and if the engine is built "loose) then a second can on the breather may be needed. Just hard to say for sure. Just be sure to have a one way check valve in the PCV hose so boost does not get pushed into the crankcase that way.
Hopefully pick one up in the next couple weeks if I can convince the wife to let me spend more on the truck.

I know the Procharger kit when I installed it had one. It's in the line from the top of the manifold to the drivers size valve cover.
